Amla guides Punjab with stellar knock

Hashim Amla proved his critics wrong by scoring a 32-ball fifty to guide Kings XI Punjab to a comfortable win against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL at Indore on Monday, reports Hindustan times.
Hashim Amla is not the first name that comes to mind when one thinks of an explosive batsman. But he showed all those abilities for Kings XI Punjab, scoring his second half-century of the Indian Premier League (IPL) to guide his team to an eight-wicket victory.
Against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Indore, Amla struck three sixes and four fours to reach his half-century in just 32 balls. The Proteas batsman stayed unbeaten on 58 off 38 balls and his partnerships with Manan Vohra and Glenn Maxwell made the run chase extremely easy for Kings XI Punjab. 
After the Holkar Stadium saw AB de Villiers plunder 89* off just 46 balls, it witnessed the domination of bowlers by another South African. Amla played an uncharacteristic knock and the fans enjoyed.
Coming out to open the innings, he combined with Manan Vohra to notch up 62 runs in six overs. Amla was aggressive of the two in the initial two overs, hitting Iqbal Abdulla and Brian Stanlake for boundaries. However, then Vohra started his charge.
